Hate to break it guys, but it’s very hard to top this in terms of either stupid or trolling:
Myth #4 : There was a huge home price bubble in the USA
Has to be a troll. No human being could believe such a thing.
American,
I know first hand that living there for a (very) short while (though not short enough) for work certainly sucks.
I had long suspected that living in Japan also sucks.
Now I know that it does.
I nominate ten ounce trout
Only later in the afternoon. His morning thoughts are often coherent.
This is NICE thread you got going here Patrick.
No no far be it from me, to pitch a bitch that someone posted something I take offense to and I would expect you to censor them. Though this thread is a Who's Who of all of the Ass Holes that have invoked the "FLAG" link.
They must be Democrats!
But I thought Calling someone a Liar IS attacking their ideas?
Libs DO as they SAY not as THEY do.
The education system is absurd and is only a goldenchild of the left becasue it gave them direct access to the youth to force upon them their leftist anti-God/American/Freedom queer way of thinking.
marcus you may disagree, but Bap is right that our education system is crap. And your union is part of the problem, huge part of it.

The education system - at least the English composition part of it - seems to have failed Bap.
Here is a new contender:
Shrekgrich says (about terrorism and the awareness of it):
>Scary thing is: Libruhls haven't. More of that chronic denial of reality thing they suffer from en masse, I gather. I get a big kick out of how soft they are on terrorism but the ones most in danger of it.
>I work in San Francisco, so I spend almost a third of my entire week in Prime Target Land. Believe me, I am quite cognizant of the danger even if the moronic Libruhls who live there aren't.
Yes, that was incredible, a few of us jumped on him for that one. He went on to say:
Not to mention that they are living in prime targets for WMD attacks. Pop a nuke in Chicago or San Francisco and you'll end up with a large percentage of the Libruhl population of this country dead as a door nail (but will still magically show up in voter rolls in Chicago, just see). Even a crude dirty bomb going off in the downtown area will bankrupt most of them as the real estate market will collapse totally in at least a 30 mile radius and business will flee. Permanently.
Or maybe it was a different thread ? Reflecting on it, it's hard not to feel vicarious shame and embarrassment for him, being the jerk that he s.
Maybe his goal is to work his way up to one nomination each day.
Regarding Gabby Giffords remarkable revovery from being shot in the head and coming in to vote on the big debt ceiling bill, there was a post from jvolstad that was almost worthy of a nomination, but then Shrek says this:
Shame on the Dems for exploiting her that way!
Wow. What else can one say.
This is the same guy, who had these comments regarding her shooting back in January..
SoCal Renter says
They should outlaw high capacity magazine clips in public and limit them to shooting ranges and licensed hunting preserves. There is absolutely no reason someone needs a high capacity clip in public.
They should outlaw liberal idiots from speaking or voting and limit them to scrubbing toilets and fluffing on porn sets as an occupation. There is absolutely no reason such idiots should participate in society otherwise.
later...
Was this guy who shot the congressbitch a 'conservative'? No. Yet you persist in this demonization.
I just don't know. We tolerate and forgive a lot from this piece of work. I hope that at least it's therapeutic for him.
I hereby submit the following:
You all should be thankful Fat people don't vote. They can't be bothered to get out, but you know what? On second thought maybe it is good idea bashing and picking on and just generally bullying fat people. That will get them out in droves to vote the smug Democrats out of office. Fat people get irate over shit like that.
I must ask - what's the most offensive part? That tot believes that, as a group, people who are overweight don't have the energy to leave their homes? Or that this group of people are Republicans?
I never knew that there was a correlation between obesity and conservative politics - but ya learn something new every day.
No I mean it, they're kicked off the planes now, let's get to kicking them out of restaurants. The sooner we give Fat people the FULL treatment, the quicker we can get to throwing Fags out of the grocery store for being caught dead in that get up with a mink stow.

You've already made the top ten - yet you still try for a higher ranking?

Don't talk to me about stupidity, your post was the 163rd post. Top ten list my Ass, I've got a math test for you how many middle fingers am I holding up?
You're not pretty when you're angry, tot.
I was referring to your comment about gay people. It was offensive and leads one to think that you are not only prejudiced against overweight people, but also the LGBT community.
Attacking me personally won't change that. I do appreciate that you want me to go have sex, which is a beautiful and super fun thing. It leads me to believe that you like me if you want me to experience something so pleasant.
Thank you. I shall follow your advice forthwith.

Eschew Obfuscation
Stowe it with your trolling and your pompous crossing guard crap Ellie. If you want to discus stuff with me, I'm all for it, but if you want to start crap then bitch when you get it back. Then you'd probably do better spend your time digging spuds.
What would you like to "discus," tot - and what does an American abolitionist have to do with any of this?
I'm not bitching that you want me to have sex - I'm embracing the thought. In fact, as soon as I press "submit comment" I'm going to take you up on your suggestion - and my guy said to tell you thanks (and told me to hurry up!).
In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll
The title of this thread is "Nominations for the Dumbest Things Read on Patnet," and I nominated your horribly insensitive comment. This is decidedly on-topic and relevant. IMHO the comment that you made about overweight people and, later, gay people, were some of the dumbest (and meanest) things I've read on patnet.
If you want to discus stuff with me, I'm all for it, but if you want to start crap then bitch when you get it back. Then you'd probably do better spend your time digging spuds.
I didn't start crap, nor did I bitch when I got it back. And, out of curiosity, what does harvesting potatoes have to do with with your lack of sensitivity about the horizontally challenged and gay people?
On second thought, I really am not interested in your response. I predict it will be mean spirited, poorly composed with incorrect punctuation, and a waste of time & energy attempting to translate it.
But thanks for playing. I say good day, sir.
just went over the posts .. and I, for one, am sooo super suprized at the lack of stupid comments listed on here from lefties. It's like, wow, man, lefty/progressive/liberal posters are so smart.**
** - must inhale, or otherwise ingest, large amounts of narcotics inorder to see the magical answers.

We make stupid comments, feel free to add them. Stupidity isn't a right/left thing.
Stupidity isn't a right/left thing
True, although intelligent folks on the right are under-represented here, which doesn't mean they don't exist.
But also, the true right, that is right wing republican, as distinguished from common sense conservative has changed A LOT over the years.
Putting it differently, if we had a politics like that of 1960, many of those on this site, we now consider to be right wing voices, would be democrats, and some of those we consider "left" now, would be republicans.
Generally speaking there was a much larger moderate republican group then, and the evangelical Christian (and sorry - racist) representation was on the democrat side (not to be confused with "liberal").
What a difference 50 years makes.
Quick quips are not enough to outline Liberal stupidity.
It takes whole articles...

I don't figure a person's personal view to be stupid, when it does not match mine. I do figure the lack of morality and anti-personal accountablity that is fostered by some on the left to be stupid.
Calling a person who feels borders are supposed to hold back an invasion, "racist", is really close to stupid, since there is no race in the equasion.
It is true that the well versed conservative voices do not populate PatNet. I do wonder why? I know this form of communication is one of my very worst media to work in, while many liberal minded people excell at written communication. Maybe that's it? Or. maybe just the fact that cyber=land is mostly lib area? Not sure.
Some more logic...(not refuting per se, just adding).

That does not logically mean that there won't be times when a view is not only different from yours, but also stupid.

Some people who have issues with illegal immigration are not racist, and some are. Words like invasion, and other characterizations of this group you have made in the past sounded racist. Some of this has to do with nothing more than the fact that this "group" is not anglo protestant.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that has anything to do with your point of view. It's just that this "group" which you generalize about so much, does in fact see themselves as another race. The fact that you have prejudice against a group who sees themselves as "other," in and of itself does at least border on racism.
Taking the emotion implicit in words like "invasion" out would help.
Tot, you really need to read the whole article. From one of your links showing liberal stupidity

As important (to me, even more important) was the the reckless and divisive battle that preceded it:
(quote from the S&P downgrade)
The political brinksmanship of recent months highlights what we see as America’s governance and policymaking becoming less stable, less effective, and less predictable than what we previously believed. The statutory debt ceiling and the threat of default have become political bargaining chips in the debate over fiscal policy … [This] weakens the government’s ability to manage public finances …
This is crucial. Sovereigns aren’t like companies. They can’t go bankrupt, and creditors can’t seize their assets. Their creditworthiness depends as much on their willingness as their ability to pay. As Felix Salmon presciently noted before the announcement was made, it’s not our ability to pay that’s in doubt:
(another quote from s&p)
America’s ability to pay is neither here nor there: the problem is its willingness to pay. And there’s a serious constituency of powerful people in Congress who are perfectly willing and even eager to drive the US into default. The Tea Party is fully cognizant that it has been given a bazooka, and it’s just itching to pull the trigger. There’s no good reason to believe that won’t happen at some point.
Absent the toxic politics that infected the debate, we could have hammered out a deal that stabilized the debt without squeezing the economy too much in the near term. After all, Britain, Germany and even Italy seem able to do so, and we have in the past, too.
Nomination for the SMARTEST thing said on patnet (sorry to yell, there):
This country is run on protecting people from the epidemic of their own willing ignorance.

What is stupid about SillyMae's quote. (Thanx Ellie) The word ignorance should be replaced with "DENIAL". (NOT sorry for yelling) Ignorance implies not knowing. Gubmint is denying that real property is overpriced.
What is stupid about SillyMae's quote. (Thanx Ellie)
The quote said "willing ignorance." People purposely remain uninformed about issues, only to complain about them anyway. It's not denial, because people would have to become educated about issues in order to choose to ignore their existence.
Semantics. But I still like my quote better.
Semantics. But I still like my quote better.
Ellie, to be clear.
In afterthought I should not have titled it YOUR quote. My Thanx was for submitting that quote. I also love the quote, although I believe everyone in the free world is cognizent of falling real estate prices, many pretend it is not happening.
Ignorance defined excuses the uneducated; the state or fact of being ignorant : lack of knowledge, education, or awareness.
Denial Defined; disbelief in the existence or reality of a thing.
Should we send both to the fed asking which definition they prefer ?
No offense taken, although I'm a little pissed that you posted a photo of me for the world to see.
You weren't there for 6 billion years while the earth evolved, there is zero proof that it took that long, no one observed it and there are severe problems with that theory.

Patrick.net is one of my favorite sites on the internet, and the site I check out most for housing information and advice. Most of the posters and commenters are knowledgeable in the area of housing and economics. In addition many have a good sense of humor.
However, there some very stupid things written by some. I invite anyone to share some of the dumbest things they have read from posters on this site. They might be worth a few more laughs...
